Frankenstein's were a-bouts'

Frankenstein was created through science, so one thought. As it turns out in this relationship between a monster and a human being, was the psychology of the mind that plays a big role, as Frankenstein transforms his knowledge into a skillful, yet angry beast of a man. Witch destroys any love ones who come across in his path of revenge, and loneness. In letter one, when Victor writes to Margret his sister, as it exclaims the nonexistence of harm or to be surrounded with danger because it is not allowed, as it refers to "You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which forebodings." (p15) This was said to reassure Margret's mind to find comfort and peace with out the knowledge of any dangerous were a bout's from anyone or thing.
Victor was in search for bringing people or animals back to life with experimental discoveries with lightening and water. He believes that, from his own two eyes, he discovered the lifeless animal, and man who was then called "Frankenstein," came back to life after being dead. His professor Walton, did not believe him, and told him he is not God. Only god can create life, and he is not God. As Victor tries to prove, that his
creation was a success, Victor becomes the monster himself. Not knowing, he was the one who caused such misery within, himself, as well as for others around him.
Frankenstein was seen only in the eyes of his creator, (a delusion, or a dream) which caused others to not believe the words outside of Victor's mouth. As a result, Victor was then, placed at the seen of the murder of his young brother William. Victor blamed Justine the servant who was watching him at play. When, William went too fair chasing his kite, then came upon Frankenstein or Victor. Frankenstein picked up the boy and covered his mouth trying to keep him from screaming. The boy soon became unconscious, with no more breath to give. As Frankenstein became worried he tried to shake him in hopes that, William will gain conscious again. After realizing that the boy no longer lives, Frankenstein leaves in a hurry. Upon arrival at a barn he finds the servant a sleep after looking for William. He places a necklace with a picture of Williams's mother on it, inside the pocket of Justine. Victor knew something wasn't right when, the judges convicted her to be hung to death with no other evidence, but the necklace, placed her at the seen. Victor then, watched Justine, as tears roll down her face. She suffered for no reason, and there was nothing he could do, but to live in emotional pain.
Mary Shelley developed a book with such knowledge, emotions, and a variety of unfamiliar words, that brings this book to life. The author used elements that were found like the use of being in first person's point of view, the feeling of sensitivity on how the tone sets the mood, and there were unfamiliar words that were difficult to understand. However, Frankenstein in the beginning of the book was a little difficult to find interesting, and the wanting to read further, was not fun. As the continuation, to keep on reading would eventually ease. This will help to find more about how the author wrote in such elements.
The use of first person point of view, for example are, "He then took me into his laboratory" (p50) is a way the narratives or character helps to tell the story. The tone of the story is reviled by the words with another example used "Thus ended a day memorable to me: it decided my future destiny." (p50) The words help to show emotion, in the description of the words used. Unfamiliar words like: "lineaments," (p41)" schiavi ognor frementi,"(p36) and "unparalleled eloquence." (p29)
In addition, "The "monster" created by Frankenstein is actually a very complex character with deep thoughts about philosophy and life in general," (Web site) is a result in the knowledge of great creations. The author writes to help pull the reader into the story. With the use of these elements, a narrative point of view with the switching of views from first person, to second, then to third. Usually, the main character is the narrative and this is true through out the story. Victor Frankenstein is the narrator walking the audience through the different events that are taking place.
The tone that sets the mood is shown through the many distinct senses, happiness, loneliness, anger, and others that may set off a person's mood. Shelley uses this tool for being drawn into the feelings of another human being or who ever may have the sense of feeling. For example "man is born free and is every where in chains," that in civilizations we corrupt what is by nature transformed into evil by a human injustice, an Adam made into Satan." (Web site) Then, there are different or unfamiliar words that were chosen though out the book or passages. Help understand the meaning of the words written maybe look them up in the dictionary or re-read the sentence to get the full effect of the word. The thing with that it helps with the vocabulary, and knowledge behind the meaning of the word. Likewise, the use of words that mean the same meaning, but a different word used may sound better professionally.
In conclusion the use of elements for a passage or book can be used. To help locate the persons point of view, the tone, and the vocabulary for a better understanding in the different styles of writings authors have when, creating or analyzing a book, or passage written. As for the story of "Frankenstein and his were a-bouts' has many folks thinking of him as a monster. While others may perceive him to be, emotionally cripple for the wanting to belong to someone, inside the mind of Victor Frankenstein.
